Sambar Podi is a quintessential South Indian spice mix made from roasted lentils, red chilies, coriander, cumin, and other aromatic spices. This podi is the base for making sambar, a popular lentil stew with vegetables that pairs beautifully with rice, idly, or dosa. The blend provides a rich, savory, and slightly spicy flavor, making sambar a comforting and hearty dish.
